Good afternoon San Tan Families. The last week has been jam-packed with researching and planning how to move our school to online instruction. Our entire team worked together to create an online environment that is as close as possible to mirroring our in-person content delivery and the San Tan way.

I know that for me and my family this has been a frightening time of change and the Armstrong family struggles with change J. As I left the school yesterday, I was conflicted. On one hand, my heart was breaking because of what our great nation has been going through, and yet my heart was full to the brim because I worked with all our great teachers all day. I am so incredibly fortunate to work with the best men and women in the industry! Trust me in knowing that they each only have your child’s best interest at heart. In the coming weeks, we are all going to tackle this new platform for online learning and we ask for you and your children’s hope and kindness as we make this transition.

Below is a link to the video that we did for you today. I know it isn’t as wonderful as seeing us in person, but I hope you enjoy our attempt at creating videos. I’m sure we will get better at it as the weeks go on.

Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help this transition go smoother. Please be on the lookout for emails from your teachers and emails from me and Dr. Sippel with any updates.

Have an amazing day – I miss seeing your smiling faces in drivelane!

HUGS!

It’s Great to be a Roadrunner!

Sincerely,

Marlene K. Armstrong, M.Ed.
